"NIIII-CHAAAAN!"

A small girl with chocolate skin and purple eyes sat down on the grass, frustrated. She batted at one of her curly pigtails, which hung from the sides of her head. She was quite tired from searching for her friend, who was playing hide-and-seek with her.

'Gosh, Nii-chan sure is a good hider!' She got up and brushed off her dress, heading back toward the neighborhood that they had started the game at. She looked in every bush, behind every tree, and inside every log that she could find. She would NOT let him beat her at THIS round!

Suddenly, she heard a startled cry from behind her. She recognized the voice instantly. "Nii-chan." She ran towards the source of the cry.

"So, you tink it's funny comin' inta my territory, eh?" The little girl stopped at the scene in front of her. A teenager with a spiky purple mohawk held a little boy by the collar. The little boy's blue eyes were open wide with fear, and his blond hair fell into his face as the teenager shook him, his little banana-shaped ponytail in the back of his head bobbing up and down. "WELL?"

The little girl charged at the teenager, shoving him over. "LET GO OF MY NII-CHAN!" The purple headed boy, shocked, fell into the thorn plant that was behind him. She grabbed the little blond boy's hand and ran, pulling him with her. "Let's go, nii-chan!"The little boy gasped, "Hai!" and the two companions ran back to a house with a dark blue door. They charged in.

A little blond girl, who looked nearly identical to the boy, was just finishing off an orange when the two ran into the kitchen. She dropped the orange rind, startled. "Len and Marou nii-chans? What happened?"

The dark-skinned girl, Marou, climbed into the chair next to the blond girl. "We were playing hide and seek, and then I found a bully being mean to nii-chan!" She squeezed Len's hand, which she was still holding. "What did you do to make him angry, nii-chan?"

Len shook his head, bewildered. "I was just about to climb a tree that I found, and then he grabbed me! He said something about being in his territory." The little blond girl frowned.

"How can people have territory? I thought the world was everyone's!" She picked up the orange rind and threw it in the trash.

Marou released Len's hand and propped her chin up on her little seven-year-old fists. "Beats me, Rin, but what a mean idiot!"

Rin returned to the table and squeezed the two older children into a hug. "I'm just glad that nii-chans are okay!"

Len blushed. "If it wasn't for Marou-chan, I would have gotten hurt." He looked at Marou and smiled. "Thanks, Marou-chan!"Marou beamed.

"Anything for nii-chan."

There was a quiet knock on Rin's door. Marou, who was sharing a bed with Rin for a sleepover, rolled over in surprise. She carefully got out of bed, not wanting to disturb the sleeping girl beside her, and opened the door. Len, who was waiting outside, motioned for her to follow him into the hallway. Marou quietly closed the door and followed.

"What is it, nii-chan?" she asked once they were away from Rin's door.

"Marou-chan, I want you to promise me something." Marou looked at him curiously.

"What?"

Len took hold of her hand. "You have to peace promise."

Marou made her hand into the peace sign. "What am I promising, nii-chan?"

Len linked his first two fingers with hers. He blushed a little at the contact.

"I want you to be with me forever."

Starri: OK, PEOPLES! I KNOW what you're thinking:

Random viewer: "WHERE'S THE LENxMIKU IN THIS?"

Other random viewer: "HOW DO THEY KNOW MAROU?"

Random hobo: "DO I GET A SQUISHY MUSHROOM TOO?"

Starri: All of this (except the last question) will be answered in the next chapter! Review and you get your very own bandit-beating squishy negi!

Teto: Um, Starri ... Miku ate them all ...

Starri: NOOO! DX WHYYYYY? I WANTED ONE!

Miku: o.o eep!

Starri: You ... *evil glare*

Miku: Please review so she doesn't kill me!
